Water Softener Mequon
Guthrie and Frey has been providing water softeners in Mequon since our start in 1974. As water flows to your home, it picks up contaminants along the way. These contaminants create hard water that can cause several concerns within your home. Water Softeners for Mequon provide solutions to provide your home with soft water.
Water Contaminants in Mequon
Mequon receives its water from the North Shore Water Commission and Milwaukee Waterworks. The water that flows into your home is sourced from rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells.
As water flows from through Mequon over the surface and underground, it picks up various forms of contaminants. Some are naturally occurring contaminants while others stem from human and animal activities. This includes agriculture and wildlife activity, sewage and septic, urban stormwater runoff, industrial processes, oil & gas production, and mining.

From the Senior Technician in Mequon:
How do I know if I have lead in my water?
You cannot see, taste, or smell lead in water. The only way to know if there is lead in your water is to have a professional water test performed.
How long should a water softener last?
Typically, water softeners last 15-20 years. If properly cared for and maintained you could potentially have your water softener for even longer!
Do I need a water softener if I live in Mequon?
The benefit of a water softener is to reduce the hard water that enters your home, thus reducing chalky build-up on plumbing fixtures. Having soft water will allow your appliances and fixtures to last to their full potential.
